Tennessee Confirms It Will Be In New College Football Game
We got a lot of major news of the latest NCAA College Football video game on Thursday. A slew of programs confirmed they would be featured in the game, including the Tennessee Volunteers. This came amidst a series of releases about the contents of the upcoming game. Wide receiver Bru McCoy has also already confirmed that his likeness will be used in the game.
Beloved by fans, the NCAA College Football franchise was an annual must-have in the gaming community until it was discontinued in the summer of 2013 due to conflicts over the use of players' names, images, and likenesses within the game.
However, with the recent NIL (name, image, and likeness) rule changes in collegiate athletics, players may now receive compensation for the use of their NIL. This eventually led to EA Sports announcing the return of the game back in February 2021 and eventually announcing the official release date this evening. While the college football season has officially concluded, the return of a popular college football video game this July is likely to make this year's offseason feel just a little bit shorter.
